PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed to grab some stuff for a late-night ramen session. Went to the PARKnSHOP near my hotel – it's HUGE. Like, seriously labyrinthine. I swear I spent twenty minutes… more

Dude, tell me about it! Those PARKnSHOPs are legendary for being ridiculously massive and confusing. I once spent half an hour looking for frozen peas. Half an hour! My strategy now is to stick to the perimeter – usually there’s a decent selection of stuff along the outer walls, and it's way less likely you'll get lost. Plus, you can at least see where the exits are. If you're venturing further in, try to mentally note landmarks or sections as you go... it's kinda like a mental breadcrumb trail. Good luck next time, you'll need it!

Yeah, the food at Ming Garden is amazing, I totally agree. But the service? A complete lottery. Sometimes it's fine, other times... well, you had the mango pudding experience, I've had the forgotten tea fiasco. I think they're just overwhelmed, especially during peak hours. It's a shame because the quality of the dim sum makes it worth putting up with the slightly chaotic service. Maybe try going at an off-peak time?

Totally get what you mean. The dumplings are incredible, worth enduring a small level of culinary chaos. Off-peak sounds like a plan. Maybe a Tuesday afternoon dim sum binge is in order... 🤔
